President
Obama hosted his third annual Easter Prayer Breakfast at The White House on
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Nearly 150
members of the clergy from across the nation gathered in the East Room for the
breakfast.

Among
those invited to attend the President's breakfast was Dove Award-winning Contemporary
Christian singer/songwriter Sara Groves, who performed "He's Always Been
Faithful." Her husband, Troy, was also in attendance.

Groves
has deep roots in the Assemblies of God - her great-grandmother was part of the Azusa Street
revival, and her great-grandfather was an early AG superintendent.

Groves
and her husband graduated from Evangel University in 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Her father, Dwight Colbaugh, another alum, currently teaches
theology at Evangel. Her mother, Nancy Colbaugh, also graduated from Evangel.
